Twinkle Twinkle
Little Star
Fingering Charts
For 5
Hole Native American Flutes and 6 Hole Native AmericanFlutes

Easy Song - Twinkle Twinkle
Little Star |
|
|
There are at least
5, different fingering positions that you can use to play the
song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on your Native American
Flute. I am including the fingering charts for the first 2 positions
on this page for both the 5 hole Native American Flute and the
6 hole Native American Flute. |
|
|
 |
Understanding the symbols
in the fingering charts below. |
|
|
|
 |
You use the same
fingering pattern for the 6 hole flute as you do the 5 hole flute
when you play songs that use the minor pentatonic scale.
The 3rd hole from the top down on the 6 hole Native American
Flute is the added hole that a 5 hole flute does not have. By
always keeping this hole covered on your 6 hole flute, you are
playing the same notes that are played on a 5 hole flute.
There are many songs that are not played using the minor pentatonic
scale. This is when the 6 hole native american flute is the more
versatile instrument. * Notice the difference in how you play
the first set of notes in the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
The 6 hole flute makes it easier because the 5 hole flute requires
you to play a 1/2 hole to get the note. |

Playing The Half Hole Notes |
|
|
Playing the ½
hole notes on a quality crafted Native American Flute
is EASY once you learn about breathing, finger placement, and
air resistance. * Our
books
teach you these things.
Each native american flute, as well as each hole, has a sweet
spot where the ½ hole note comes in on perfect pitch.
Sometimes you only have to cover ¼ of the hole, sometimes
it's 5/8's of the hole. Do not
be discouraged if you have trouble playing the ½ hole
notes. Not all Native American Flutes are crafted the same. Some
flutes will not play ½ holes very easily. If we
made your flute, we guarantee that the ½ hole notes can
be played with ease. |

Listen to song samples
below and then scroll down to see the fingering charts showing
you how to play. Compare the sounds below. Hear the difference
in pitch. I play the same song, in 2 different postions, using
the same flute. The Native American Flute I used is tuned to
the key of F#.
